OPERATING THE SAW
It is important to understand the correct
method for operating the saw.
Refer to the figures and instructions in this
section to learn the correct and incorrect
ways for handling the saw.
DANGER:
• When lifting the saw from the
workpiece, the blade is exposed on
the underside of the saw until the
lower blade guard closes. Make sure
the lower blade guard is closed before
setting the saw down.
WARNING:
• Allow the blade to come to a complete
standstill before setting the circular
saw down.
• To make sawing easier and safer,
always maintain proper control of the
saw. Loss of control could cause an
accident resulting in possible serious
injury.
• Always clamp and support the
workpiece securely. Always maintain
proper control of the saw. Failure to
clamp and support the workpiece and
loss of control of the saw could result
in serious injury.
TO MAKE THE BEST POSSIBLE CUT:
1. Always use your saw with your hands
positioned correctly, with one hand
on the main handle and operating the
trigger switch and the other hand on
the auxiliary handle. Avoid placing your
hand on the workpiece while making a
cut.
2. Position your body to either side of the
blade, but not in line with the blade.
3. Support the workpiece near the cut.
4. Clamp the workpiece securely so that
the workpiece will not move during the
cut.
5. Always place the saw weight on the
workpiece that is supported, not on the
“cut off” piece.
6. Place the workpiece with the “good”
side down.
7. Draw a guideline along the desired line
of cut before beginning your cut.
NOTICE: The “good” side of the
workpiece is the side where appearance
is important.
